Shailene Woodley is seen WITHOUT a ring in the middle of a surprise ‘engagement’ with Aaron Rodgers

Shailene Woodley was portrayed for the first time since her surprise engagement to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

However, the 29-year-old actress was visibly without an engagement ring when she was seen on the set of her new film Misanthrope in Montreal, Canada on Thursday.

Shailene looked well dressed and ready to start working on the set, as she was all in black, but it was clear that she was not wearing any visible jewelry.

The ringless sighting comes after reports that her turbulent engagement was a surprise to her loved ones, who initially believed she was ‘a recovery’ after her separation from longtime girlfriend Danica Patrick.

Although the lovebird’s relationship forgot shortly after his separation from the race car driver, a source close to the sportsman told People ‘they got so close’ quickly.

– I mean, it really looked like one day he was with Danica and, suddenly, he was with Shailene. It happened very quickly, ‘noted the source.

Rodgers’ friend also confessed that the athlete’s family and close friends assumed that the actress “was just a recovery” and that they were not “serious”.

“Everyone thought it was a casual thing because that is what he was saying to everyone, even when it was clearly not a casual thing,” said the source.

The new details came after Rodgers thanked his fiancee on receiving his NFL MVP award on Sunday.

The hot star mentioned that he ‘got engaged’ in 2020 and thanked his ‘fiancee’ – who is Woodley, according to People.

“They are very happy together,” a source told the site last week. ‘It is not surprising that he proposed so quickly. When you know, you know, right? ‘

Among the people Rodgers thanked for supporting him in the MVP award – which is his third – he also included Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster, who starred with Woodley in this month’s The Mauritanian.

The Big Little Lies actress and the football player are said to be enjoying a “private” romance, according to E! News.

“They kept things private and discreet,” a source told the media, adding that the pair’s relationship has been ‘long distance’.

Woodley is crouched in Montreal, Canada, as she films serial killer Misanthrope’s suspense, according to Canada Live and Variety.

Although his season came to an end last month, Rodgers has spent the past few months getting “very focused on his season” with the Green Bay Packers.

Unfortunately, Rodgers and his team lost their chance at the Super Bowl after losing to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 24.

Despite the distance, Shailene and Aaron “saw each other and were in contact,” the source said.

“They continue to talk and see each other when they can. Both are focused on their careers, but they also set aside time for each other. ‘

Before Rodgers, Woodley was romantically linked to Fiji rugby player Ben Volavola from 2017 until his split in 2019.

Last spring, actress Divergente revealed to the New York Times that she was ‘very single’ and had ‘chosen to be single for a while’ before returning to the dating game.

Speaking openly about her breakup with Volavola, Woodley explained to Bustle that, although they were ‘very much on the way to marriage and children’, she just wasn’t ready for that commitment.

‘I realized that I was still at an age when I was not able to fully commit. I couldn’t be available to him the way I wanted to be. I didn’t love myself completely, ‘she concluded.

As for Aaron, he ended his relationship with former professional driver Danica Patrick in July 2020.

In a statement to Page Six, Rodgers confirmed that he and Patrick ‘were no longer together’.

In the middle of the breakup, Patrick took to Instagram and posted a series of cryptic quotes about the relationship, including one from relationship coach Connor Beaton that said, ‘The pain we feel is the pain we pass on.’

Aaron also dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 until her “friendly” split in 2017.

In an interview with ESPN Magazine in August 2017, Rodgers talked about ending things with the Newsroom star, commenting that ‘living a relationship in the public eye is definitely … it’s difficult.’

“There are some extra restrictions, because you have other opinions about your relationship, how it affects your work and, you know, just some inadequate connections,” he explained.

Since ending his relationship with Volavola and experiencing things with Rodgers, Woodley has been much more candid about his private life, including the topic of sex.

In a Ask Her column for the male Leo website, someone asked, ‘If the sex isn’t great, but the relationship is thriving, do you give up or work on it?’

The stunning woman admitted that she has had bad sex ‘more than once’ in her life, but that ‘bad sex is simply two people who have not yet found the language that speaks about their unique lives together’.

She continued: ‘And although you occasionally and very rarely meet someone with whom you spontaneously engage in sexual combustion – most of the time, sex is a lesson in true intimacy.’
